Aircraft Classifications, History and Airport Technology Problem 2

CEE 4674: Airport Planning and Design Spring 2007 Assignment 1: Aircraft Classifications, History and Airport Technology Date Due: Jan/23/2008 Instructor: Trani Problem 2 Read pages 1 and 2 in Chapter 1 in the FAA Advisory Circular 150/5300-13 (Airport Design) before answering this question. Also, read the aircraft classification handout provided in class. Examine the FAA Advisory Circular 150/5300-13 (Airport Design). Specifically examine Appendix 13 of the FAA Advisory Circular which contains information about various aircraft. a) For the aircraft shown in Table 2.1, state the Airplane Design Group (ADG) class, the Terminal Areas Procedures Aircraft Speed Category, and the wake vortex class for each vehicle. b) For each aircraft, calculate the stalling speed (minimum speed for flight) from the known aircraft approach speeds published in the FAA AC. Stalling speed is just 30% below the approach speed. Table 2.1 Aircraft to be Studied.

Specifically, explain how aircraft such as the Douglas DC-3 and the Boeing 247 changed the way people viewed commercial aviation (one page). Contrast the two aircraft and their technologies. Explain in your own words, why the Douglas DC-3 was, in the end, more popular than the Boeing 247. The Boeing 247 was the first modern airliner. The Douglas DC-3 was 50% more economical to operate than the Boeing 247. CEE 4674 A1 Trani Page 3 of 3 .

Bogash (www.rbogash.com/B314.html) In the world of man-made objects, be they antique cars, historic locomotives, steamships, religious symbols, or, in this case - beautiful airplanes, certain creations stand out. Whether due to perceived beauty, historical importance, or imagined romance, these products of man’s mind and hands have achieved a status above and beyond their peers. For me, the Lockheed Super Constellation is one such object. So is the Boeing 314 Flying Boat the Clipper, (when flown by Pan American Airways) - an Icon in the purest sense of the word. The B-314 was the largest, most luxurious, longest ranged commercial flying boat - built for, and operated by Pan Am. It literally spanned the world, crossing oceans and continents in a style still impressive today. From the late 1930’s through the Second World War, these sky giants set standard unequalled to this day. Arriving from San Francisco at her namesake city, the Honolulu Clipper disembarks her happy travelers at the Pearl City terminal. The 2400 mile trip generally took between 16 and 20 hours depending upon winds.

This book examines the fight between the Army Air Corps, the Army, and the Navy over the introduction of a new generation of long-range heavy bombers during the interwar period. Questions of cost, of departmental responsibility, and of the relationship between business and industry, all play key roles in the search for this elusive aircraft and ultimately which military branch controls the air. Underlying all of these issues is the question of whether or not the United States needs a separate, independent air force. Also researching a book on the creation of Transcontinental & Western Air (TWA). This business history will trace the story of this important airline from its creation in 1930 from the ambitious but unprofitable Transcontinental Air Transport, formed by Clement Keys with technical assistance from Charles Lindbergh, and parts for the successful Western Air Express of Harris Hanshue through World War II and its reorganization as Trans World Airlines under Howard Hughes.

Pan Am's Historic Contributions to Aircraft Cabin Design
German Aerospace Society, Hamburg Branch Hamburg Aerospace Lecture Series Dieter Scholz Pan Am's Historic Contributions to Aircraft Cabin Design Based on a Lecture Given by Matthias C. Hühne on 2017-05-18 at Hamburg University of Applied Sciences 2017-11-30 2 Abstract The report summarizes groundbreaking aircraft cabin developments at Pan American World Airways (Pan Am). The founder and chief executive Juan Terry Trippe (1899-1981) estab- lished Pan Am as the world's first truly global airline. With Trippe's determination, foresight, and strategic brilliance the company accomplished many pioneering firsts – many also in air- craft cabin design. In 1933 Pan Am approached the industrial designer Norman Bel Geddes (1893-1958). The idea was to create the interior design of the Martin M-130 flying boat by a specialized design firm. Noise absorption was optimized. Fresh air was brought to an agreea- ble temperature before it was pumped into the aircraft. Adjustable curtains at the windows made it possible to regulate the amount of light in the compartments. A compact galley was designed. The cabin layout optimized seating comfort and facilitated conversion to the night setting. The pre-war interior design of the Boeing 314 flying boat featured modern contours and colors. Meals were still prepared before flight and kept warm in the plane's galley. The innovative post-war land based Boeing 377 Stratocruiser had a pressurized cabin. The cabin was not divided anymore into compartments. Seats were reclining. The galley was well equipped. The jet age started at Pan Am with the DC-8 and the B707.
